US Still Awaits Iran's Response to Ceasefire Proposal, Says JD Vance

Amidst the looming deadline set for Tuesday night, Vance expressed that the United States remains hopeful about receiving a response from Tehran regarding the proposed ceasefire. According to an Al Jazeera report, the U.S. administration believes a diplomatic breakthrough is still possible within the remaining hours.

However, President Donald Trump has ramped up the pressure as the deadline for reopening the Strait of Hormuz approaches. In a cryptic and intense post on 'Truth Social,' Trump warned that "a whole civilization will die tonight," suggesting a potential large-scale military escalation. Despite the threat, Trump noted that the emergence of "more intelligent and less radical" leadership in Iran could lead to a revolutionary positive outcome. The global community remains on high alert as the hours count down to the final deadline.
